"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence… When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S.

Originally posted by AdmiralPiett Big B, now that you mention that rebel commander looks like John Ratzenberger, I always thought that the White Bespin Guard looked like Rob Reiner when playing Mike Stivic in ALL IN THE FAMILY.

Yep, and the Imperial Commander looks like General Veers (or the actor that played him). The Endor Rebel Commando and Boushh Leia both look like someone I have seen in films. Especially the Boushh Leia face (it is not Carrie Fisher), she looks like an actress that was in a lot of 80s teen movies, IIRC. Maybe that girl who play Micheal J. Fox's mom in Back to the Future. I dunno, maybe I am just crazy.

Slow down! Slow down! Give us enough time to digest the list a line at a time. We old geezers who actually remember the vintage line before the word "vintage" was mentioned can't keep up with the whipper-snappers!

Han Trenchcoat - 10 better than anything we've seen in the modern line

Teebo - 9

AT-ST Driver - 7

Leia Poncho - 10

B-Wing Pilot - 6

Paploo - 8

Lumat - 8

(remember Paploo and Lumat were initially offered on 79-back ROTJ cards, I have still yet to figure out why they are considered part of the "last 17" - which should actually be "last 15")

Just to put a lid on the ROTJ line of figures:
Sy Snootles - 10

Droopy McCool - 10

Max Rebo - 10 (I loved this set!)

Tomorrow, I will list the POTF figures and we will be all done here.

Like a turtle, slow but steady...

Bossk - 7 I liked all the mail-away figures, because I was almost always the first on my block to get them. Bossk looked cool (always wondered about the Rebel pilot-type uniform), but it's the lack of a decent gripping hand that dooms him.

Lobot - 6 He was always in good shape because I hardly played with him.

Lando Calrissian - 7 Okay, nothing spectacular.

Leia Bespin Gown - 6 The legs where the gown was supposed to come down to the knees made her look goofy.

Han Hoth - 10 My favorite figure of all. Holster you could actually put the gun in (none of my friends' holsters had the strap undamaged, mine either). Forget the second non-gripping hand. I love(d) snow, and he was Han!

Han Bespin - 9.9 I was/am a big Han Solo fan, so every Han figure is rated highly, but I deduct 0.1 for the brown pants. Yes, I know the movie had them brown, but not so tan colored. I drew on my SW Han's arms to make the Bespin jacket, before this figure was made.

IG-88 - 7 Two gripping hands, and two guns, but he was too tall to fit in most ships.

Romba - 8 awesome Ewok, but uses Teebo's arms, you can see the unpainted stripes sculpted into his arms

Barada - 7 nice figure, but a bit of a disappointment in the sculpting department and a strange amalgamation of Barada and Kithaba

Lando General - pass

Anakin Skywalker - 8 I really liked this figure as a kid

Luke Stormtrooper - 4 sorry, this figure is absolute crap in the sculpting department, even for 1985, if he was common I don't think he would be as popular as he is

Imperial Gunner - pass (is that the AT-ST Driver body with a new head?)

Luke Endor Poncho - pass (although I was really annoyed that he didn't have a removable helmet like Endor Leia)

A-Wing Pilot - 10 I just really like this figure

Amanaman - 10 the high point of sculpting for 1985 and still a great figure to own

Yak Face - pass

Well, that's about it. If anyone wants to do Droids and Ewoks figures then you are on your own.
